BREAKING: Toll-free travel over new Demerara, Berbice & Mackenzie/ Wismar bridges – President
President Dr. Irfaan Ali Thursday night announced that commuters will not pay any tolls to cross the new Demerara River Crossing, the forthcoming Berbice River Bridge nor the new Mackenzie/ Wismar Bridge.
The President made the announcement as he commissioned the new Schoonord to Crane four-lane Highway in Region Three.
Though announcing that the new Berbice River Bridge will be toll-free, the President also said the government is seeking to acquire the existing Berbice Bridge. If acquired, it will also be toll-free.
The new Demerara River Crossing should be completed by 2025; while the new Mackenzie/ Wismar Bridge is slated for completion in 2026.
It was only recently announced that the government is building a new Berbice Bridge. And in an invited comment, President Ali, earlier this week, said the new Berbice Bridge will be a modern, high-span structure like the Demerara Bridge.
